The forum user “KIRA” recently created a beautiful new theme called “Antarctic”.

This theme has been added as optional add-on.

You can download this theme in the “Downloadable Content” section of the game.
Just click on “Downloadable Content” in the main menu, then on “Antarctic_v4”, restart Hedgewars and you should be ready to go!

Enjoy!

You can give feedback in the forums.

EDIT 2020-10-09: Today, two more cool themes by Kakcoo from the year 2016 have been added as well: Doktor_v1 and Teknologi_v1. Discussion.

RELEASE PARTY TIME!

1.0.0 is here!

That's right, Hedgewars version 1.0.0 has been released!

Oh boy, it has finally happened! It was a long, long journey, but we reached our destination! Version 1.0.0 is a major milestone for this game, as its the first version we find confident to share with a wider audience.

Compared to version 0.9.25, this release contains mostly a cleanup of existing features and bugfixes. Basically stuff you'd expect for a “worthy” 1.0.0 release.

Have fun!

Version 1.0.0 Beta 1 is out! A couple of players were kind enough to send us bug reports, complaints and small suggestions while playtesting the previous version. So we used this feedback as basis for the changes of this test release. Thanks for everyone who helped with testing so far.

This is still not the official 1.0.0 release yet, just another preview version for testing. This time, we think all the big bad bugs should be gone now. The real official version 1.0.0 will probably not be much different.
